I signed up for a 3 month membership last November and signed a contract with UFC gym. I did the 3 month contract because I was anticipating moving. Flash forward to today, where I realize I have insufficient funds on my debit card and receive a TEXT message from the owner of the gym stating that my membership is past due. I tell him that I just moved, and ask about how to cancel since I recall signing up for a 3 month membership. He responds by telling me that I need to come in and sign a cancellation policy and he asks how I want to pay. I tell him I am not in the state so he responds asking for my email to forward me the cancellation policy and that I need to pay before I am allowed to cancel.
All of this sounded sketchy so I ask if they have a copy of my contract on file by any chance. He responds by saying, "Actually your membership is cancelled. I am sorry for the bother". I then ask when it was cancelled. No response. I go online to look at my bank account and realize that they have been charging me $59.99 every month since I signed up in November (most recent charge being in August). And they would've continued to charge me without my consent or notice if I hadn't had insufficient funds this month.
I should also note that I had purchased a groupon for about 12 sessions and an employee had harassed me after my first day to sign up by texting me 2-3 times a day persuading me to sign up and giving me a "good deal". I never had a chance to use my groupon after the first day and didn't receive full value for it. Stay away, this gym is not going to stick around much longer with their shady business practices.
